Jordyn was surprised to run into Nyla again at the hospital. After a moment’s hesitation, she decided to follow her.

Nyla, preoccupied with her own thoughts, didn’t notice that she was being followed.

By the time Nyla arrived at Harrison’s hospital room, it was already past 9:00 p.m. Only Harrison wast inside.

“Dad, where’s Wren?” Nyla asked.

Harrison looked up, surprised to see his daughter. “Why are you here so late? Wren went home to get me some fresh clothes.”

Nyla sat by the bedside, her expression serious. “Dad, I need to ask you something.”

Harrison smiled. “What’s the matter? Why the serious face?”

“When you, Mom, and Clement were in university, did Clement have a thing for Mom?”

Harrison frowned. “Did someone say something to you?”

Seeing his reaction, Nyla was convinced Lucia’s information was correct. “So it’s true?”

Harrison sighed. “That’s all from many years ago, and your mother and I are divorced now. Why are you asking about this?”

Nyla paused. After the divorce, Nyla’s mother had quickly gone abroad and had been out of touch ever since.

“I just need to confirm a few things,” she said.

“Nyla, the past is the past. Focus on your own life now. That’s what matters,” Harrison said.

Ing Harrison’s loving gaze made Nyla’s heart ache. If it hadn’t been for that accident six years ago, he would still be the owner of Harris Pharmaceuticals, not the old man now dependent on his son–in–law’s favor.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I understand. It’s getting late. I’ll head back now,” Nyla replied.

As Nyla got up to leave, Jordyn quickly stepped into a nearby stairwell to avoid being seen.

Once the footsteps had faded, Jordyn pulled out her phone and dialed a number. “Find out what illness Nyla’s father has.”

When Nyla arrived home, it was already past 10:00 pm

Clark was sitting in the living room, looking displeased. “Where have you been?”

“I went to visit my dad at the hospital,” Nyla replied.

“That’s it?” Clark pressed.

Nyla changed her shoes and looked up at him. “What else would I be doing? Do you think I went to

secretly meet Uncle Damon?”

Clark scowled. He had indeed thought so earlier.

“Nyla, I’m just concerned for you. It’s unsafe for you to be out alone at night. If you wanted to visit your father, you could have asked me to come with you,” he said,

Nyla smiled with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. “You said you’ve been very busy during dinner. How could I ask you to trouble yourself with my dad?”

Clark rubbed his forehead,

such a harsh manner? Ny somewhat helpless. “When did we become like this, always talking in

such a harsh manner? Nyla, we’re supposed to be lovers, not enemies.”

He wanted to resolve their issues, but Nyla never gave him a chance. He wasn’t sure how much longer he could keep trying. His love for her seemed to be wearing thin with every cold remark she made.

They had once loved each other deeply–he didn’t want their relationship to end in animosity.

Nyla laughed lightly and asked, “Clark, don’t you think it’s your fault we’ve become this way?”

She had given him her heart for eight years, only to end up betrayed. How did he have the nerve to question why they had grown apart?

Before Clark could respond, his phone rang. Upon seeing Jordyn’s name on the screen, his gaze froze.

Nyla saw the name too, and her smile turned into a mocking smirk as she walked past him.

Clark tensed, wanting to stop her but clenching his fists instead. He didn’t answer the call until Nyla disappeared down the hallway.

“What’s up?” he asked.

Jordyn began, “Clark, something happened to my dad. Can you-“.

“No. Jordyn, I’m not your husband. I have no obligation to clean up your family’s mess!” Clark cut her off.
